Prayer Times in Baku
Baku keeps Azerbaijan Time (UTC+4) year-round and does not observe daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the natural progression of the seasons rather than with any clock change. At roughly 40.4 degrees north, the city sees a clear seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
Ramadan in Baku
During Ramadan, Muslims in Baku observe the fast from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib), so the Suhoor and Iftar windows follow the same seasonal pattern as the daily prayer schedule. Because Baku lies at about 40 degrees north and keeps a fixed time zone year-round, the length of the fasting day depends heavily on which season Ramadan falls in: summer brings notably long days with an early dawn and a late sunset, while winter offers much shorter fasts.
As Ramadan rotates earlier through the solar year over time, residents can expect the daily fast to gradually shorten when the month sits in the cooler half of the year and lengthen again when it returns to the long days of summer. Checking the daily Fajr and Maghrib times on this page is the most reliable way to plan Suhoor and Iftar, since the exact moments shift slightly each day.
